Where is the court at One Canal Place?
The court is in One Canal Place at 365 Canal Street, Suite 500, New Orleans, LA 70130, and EOIR's page, updated October 22, 2026, says to take the elevator to the 5th floor. Search for the building name as well as the street number, because your notice may use either. The phone is 504-589-3992 and the general email is NewOrleans.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov. The date and courtroom come from your latest notice, not from this page, so use the guide on confirming your hearing before you set out.
Can I get there by streetcar, and where do I park?
EOIR's transit note is brief: public bus and trolley service through NORTA. It names no line or stop, so check NORTA for your route. For drivers, the page names One Canal Place Premium Parking and gives no rates or hours, so confirm those yourself. Allow time at the door, because a metal detector and handbag screening happen on every visit. Public hours start at 8 a.m., and EOIR posts closures and changed hours on its Operational Status page, Facebook and X.
Which ICE address is current in New Orleans?
Do not assume one ICE address, because ICE's own pages differ. Its office listing, updated September 2, 2026, puts OPLA New Orleans, the ICE attorneys, at 423 Canal Street, Suite 450, New Orleans, LA 70130, phone (504) 514-0001, on the court's street but at a different number. An undated ICE handout still shows 1250 Poydras Street, Suite 2100, so treat that as out of date. The listing shows the field office's ERO row at 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087, while ICE's Central Louisiana page, updated August 6, 2026, prints 1250 Poydras Street, Suite 325. ICE's check-in page, updated March 4, 2025, gives Saint Rose appointment times Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., phone (504) 318-2360. A check-in and a master calendar hearing are different duties.
How do I file papers and ask about the asylum clock?
The filing window is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., half an hour shorter than public hours. A fax or electronic submission nobody requested is left out of the record and discarded, with no notice to the sender. ECAS, EOIR's e-filing system, is a separate route that EOIR says every immigration court has. The address Asylum.Clock.New.Orleans@usdoj.gov is only for asylum work-permit clock requests and must include the applicant's name, alien registration number and the reason for the adjustment. Hearings are open to the public with limited exceptions, and no advance notice is needed. If your date is close to an individual hearing, file well ahead.
Which judges are listed, and what other courts are nearby?
EOIR's page lists Immigration Judges Gary L. Bergosh, Jon P. Calandruccio, Mark Carter, Joseph LaRocca, Charlotte Marquez, Eric Marsteller and Matthew McConnell. The listing does not show who has your case. EOIR's administrative control list ties this court to the New Orleans DHS district office, sub-offices included except Memphis, and names no detention facility beneath it. The Baton Rouge court also has no facility named on that list, while Oakdale and LaSalle carry long ones. The New Orleans Asylum Office is a separate USCIS office; see our asylum office entry, and do not go to the court for an interview there.
